Tonight, members trained on RIT skills. We utilized our RIT pack to give a downed firefighter air and we also trained on packaging a downed firefighter onto our FAST BOARD. These skills are something we hope to never have to use but we must be quick and proficient in the skills in case we need to deploy them on a live incident.

Our annual ambulance subscription drive is underway for 2021. Our EMS service does third party billing. Most insurance companies only pay a percentage of the bill and will leave you with a great amount of out-of-pocket expense.

Multiple other first responders are living with the after-effects of working at Ground Zero. Please take this time to Never Forget and to pray for those still suffer...

We would like to thank Glick Fire Equipment Company for their great customer service once again. We anticipate this unit will serve us well, hopefully for the next 15 years. This unit is almost identical to our 2017 Ambulance.

These monies will be used for debt reduction on Brush 13 and Ambulance 13-1, respectively. We are very grateful for these grants along with the tremendous community support!

We hosted the Cub Scout Pack 43 of West Decatur. A few members went over first aid with the scouts for various emergencies including severe bleeding, heart attack, strokes, snake bites, tick bites, shock, and cardiac arrest. It was amazing to find out what these scouts already knew pertaining to these emergencies. The scouts obtained their First Responder Badge last evening. We were honored to have been chosen to teach them. Congratulations!
